5 out of 5 eggsAmazing Monitor

Pros: The settings you can choose from very optional and I like options. The screen can be set bright or dark, but the colors can be modified (ex: cool, warm, etc) almost like a TV. Great Refresh Rate if you don't mind 60 FPS. Response time is Just amazing.

No dead pixels (Knock on Wood)

Cons: Buttons Kinda suck being on the bottom of the monitor, but aside from that none at this time.

Other Thoughts: If you plan on going beyond 60FPS I would highly recommend getting a 120Hz Refresh Rate. There is screen tearing at around 80FPS, but it wasn't worth knocking an Egg off as most people play at 60FPS

3 out of 5 eggsstuck pixel

Pros: Great screen size and value

Cons: stuck/dead red pixel at bottom of screen. Had it for a week so far and am still trying to decipher how to troubleshoot it before having to go through the terrible process of shipping it back.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Tony,

I’m sorry to hear about the stuck pixel. Please try this tool: http://flexcode.org/lcd.html and allow it to run overnight under high contrast and brightness settings. If you’d like to discuss this topic, please contact me at cl-celeste@asus.com and use this ref#1072-10768 in the subject line.

3 out of 5 eggsDid I make the right purchase?

Pros: The screen is big and bright- packaging was good, delevery was fast. I Asthetics of the monitor are good, however......

Cons: I calibrated the monitor with an Eye 1 calabration unit as I do alot of photo editing. The ghosting on the monitor is TERRIBLE! When I use the "anti-ghosting" controls, it actually got worse than better, so I have that completely turned off which makes the display acceptable.

Other Thoughts: If I had to buy again, I would think twice about this monitor. I was expecting alot more from Asus based on the reviews, and my previous ownership of Asus products. The monitor was not enough for me to return due to the hassles of returns, but- my expectations fell short on this purchase.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear grizzhcky,

To minimize the ghosting on this monitor, please go to the monitor’s OSD menu, select Image and reduce the Trace Free option to 20 (refer to page 3-3 of your user guide for more information). Should you require additional assistance or if you’d like to discuss this topic with me further, please contact me at cl-celeste@asus.com and include ref#1072-10580 in the subject line.

5 out of 5 eggsMeets all expectations

Pros: This monitor has meet every expectation I have had of it. The screen is crisp and there are 0 dead pixels. I find the size to be the perfect size.

Cons: The buttons are kind of annoying to get used to but this is not even that big of an issue, so no eggs off.

2 out of 5 eggsDead Pixel Out Of The Box

Pros: Great, bright monitor with a nice look!

Cons: Dead pixel on arrival in the top right quadrant so I have to go through the RMA process after literally getting the product out of the box.

Other Thoughts: Went out on a limb to trust Asus, I shouldn't have.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear NotJustCK,

I’m so sorry to hear about your pixel issue with this unit. I’m glad to hear that you RMA’ed it and that you were able to solve this issue immediately. Should you consider another ASUS model, I would like to help you out. Please contact me at cl-celeste@asus.com and include ref#1072-10606 in the subject line.

5 out of 5 eggsAmazing Monitors!

Pros: These are beautiful monitors! They have super fast response times and tons of color mode settings.

These come with a DVI-D --> HDMI cable, so if you don't have HDMI, you are covered out of the box.

Cons: I don't think I could fit a 3rd one on my desk without it taking up the entire desk... but that's not necessarily a bad thing :)

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Product

Pros: Crystal clear to display great colors. Easy to hook up and get running.

Cons: no major cons

Other Thoughts: Height adjustment would be a nice addition and the menu screen could be easier to handle. But in comparison to its ability they are very minor complaints.

1 out of 5 eggsNot Worth The Risk

Pros: Well... it is big and bright for the money.

Cons: A few things wrong with my particular unit.

Other people on other websites where this monitor is for sale have reported stuck or dead pixels right out of the box. I had one stuck red pixel in the center of the screen from day one.

The "skin tone" option on my monitor only has "reddish" and "yellowish" working correctly. The "natural" setting is 100% the same as reddish with not a pixel difference. So human skin tones all look yellow or red.

This was not acceptable so I RMA the monitor for the stuck pixel and the firmware issue where "natural" doesn't function as a skin tone. About two weeks later the status at ASUS's website says "repaired" for my monitor. When I got it back the pixel was fixed but not the skin tone option. So I don't know if this is an issue with this model or they just don't want to replace/fix mine. I must use the "standard mode" screen setting to get around the redness with all the other modes, however I lose some functionality in standard. I should not have to do this with a new monitor.

Another issue with this model is the power adapter is on the inside of the monitor making it needlessly thicker. My older ASUS monitor has it on the outside like most do these days. And the skin tone option works correctly as well. Guess I should have kept that one...

Other Thoughts: If your only looking for a 2ms 27" screen for cheap and don't care about color accuracy, this will be worth the risk. If dead pixels and a potential high amount of redness do bother you, stay away.

And also ASUS's RMA service, after further research has apparently taken a nose dive since about 2010 as I can figure through reading other boards. ASUS claimed in an email to me they could not replicate the issue I was having and wanted more info otherwise they would just return the monitor. Seeing as how your eyes are the only thing needed to see that something was wrong I think that is a tactic they use so they don't have to do anything except send it back to you. I responded to the email and they said they "repaired" it, yet clearly they didn't.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,

I’m sorry to hear your monitor issue. If you’d like to discuss this issue further, please contact me at cl-celeste@asus.com and include ref#1072-10421 in the subject line. If you notice there’s an issue with this unit that cannot resolved through simple troubleshooting, then just send me an email and I will do my best to assess, diagnose and resolve your concerns.

Sincerely,
Celeste
